This C function never returns anything whether in the interpreter I
type "exit(123)" or "sys.exit(123)".
I cannot call any of my C cleanup code because of this.
I think there is a bug in that documentation - the paragraph:
Note that if an otherwise unhandled SystemError is raised, this
function will not return 1, but exit the process, as long as
Py_InspectFlag is not set.
Looks like it should refer to SystemExit, not SystemError. If you check
out pythonrun.c in handle_system_exit, you will note the behaviour
described above is exactly what is implemented for SystemExit.
